Free financial planning software for linux

Yet Another Financial Manager (YAFM in short) is application to track Your expenses and incomes. That way You know how much and for what You are spending, and if You are in line with retirement savings. All made in EASY and COMFORTABLE way.

The Difference

There are many programs to help manage Your finances.

So, why You should use YAFM?

First it is designed to be easy to use. It is not aimed to track every penny You spend, this would be annoying.

Second: it should be used as a tool to track spendings as exactly as You need. Don’t be stressed if some expences are not tracked or You have entered their approx value. YAFM is about helping You to know roughly how much and for what You are spending not making You feel bad, that expenses and incomes are not balanced up to penny. If You have enough patience to keep data 100% accurate - You will have very accurate results, good for You, but YAFM will not make troubles about coffee and doughnut this morning, You have forgot to enter.

YAFM BETA is free software, but version 1.0 will be commercial software. If You decide to donate me some money I promise You to get free 1.0 license. You can donate any amount, but if You would ask me how much I would say - 10 USD (1.0 pricing is not fixed but price will be somewhere between 10 and 20 USD).

This application is powered with Ruby on Rails and operated with browser locally. You need to have Ruby interpreter and sqlite installed. This means it can be run in Windows, Unix/Linux or Mac OS X environments.

For Windows (which I expect be to main platform for most users) there are sqlite .dlls provided with program.

Well… I’m using this program for myself from April 2006. I think for many people program like YAFM will be useful, so I decided give a try to release. Of course I’m releasing much more polished version than I use everyday, and also with much features missing. But I will successfully release next versions.

Poor mans Financial Calculator project is a small financial and basic mathematical operations calculator applet.
The calculator registers work like the mythical HP-12C financial calculator, even the "n" rounding behaviour. The yellow fields also serve as operands for the arithmetic operations; for such ops, the blue field will show the result.
BEGIN button: If enabled, means that the first payment is made at the beginning of the period (important only for financial operations that involve PMT register)
FPC button: if enabled, Fractionary part of the Period ("n") will also be calculated using Compound interest; if disabled, fractionary part will use simple (linear) interest, which gives slightly higher interest values.
Enhancements:
- This release translates the code and messages to English and changes the license to the LGPL.

Ruby/Finance allows access to changing financial data, such as stock quotes and currency conversion rates.

For the foreseeable future, it is intended to be a port of Perls Finance::Quote module.

Examples:

Currency conversion

require finance/currency

Display the US Dollar ($) to Euro () conversion rate.

puts Finance::Currency::convert( EUR, USD )

Display the British Pounds Sterling () to Icelandic Kronur conversion
rate for the amount of 32.50.

puts Finance::Currency::convert( ISK, GBP, 32.50 )

Stock quotes

require finance/quote

q = Finance::Quote.new Answers will be given in the native
currency of the exchange on which
they are listed.

q = Finance::Quote.new( EUR ) Answers will be given in Euros.

q.currency = VND Switch to using Vietnamese Dong.

info = q.fetch( usa, CRM ) Fetch a single quote, namely CRM.

info = q.fetch( :usa, EBAY, AMZN ) Fetch EBAY and AMZN. Note that
a Symbol can be used instead of a
String for the exchange name.

info = q.fetch( usa, %w[ EBAY AMZN ] ) An Array of ticker symbols is
OK, too.
puts info[EBAY][:price]

A block can be passed, too:

q.fetch( :usa, RHAT ) { |info| puts info[RHAT][:high] }

You can also bypass #fetch and call the exchange as a method:

q.usa( RHAT ) { |info| puts info[RHAT][:high] }

Installation:

Minero Aokis setup.rb script is included. Extensive documentation for this script can be found at the end of this document.

Basically, however, the following should be enough to install the package:

$ ruby setup.rb config
$ ruby setup.rb setup
# ruby setup.rb install

("#" line may require root privilege)

BADGER finance is an open source financial management application for end users. BADGER finance is written in php, ajax and sql. The goal is to regain control over your personal financial situation. BADGER is free software in the sense of the GNU GPL license.
The vision for BADGER finance was born at the Mannheim University of Cooperative Education (BA). In the course of a software development class we had the opportunity to develop software. We jumped at the project with the hopes to be able to complete a useful piece of software instead of the 10,000th tic-tac-toe application.
Since there was no financial management software on the market available to us that had what we needed, we started developing our own which we now released to the open source community.Preferences
Main features:
- Account management
- Currencies
- Transactions
- Transaction categories
- Forecasts
- CSV-Import
- Preferences
Enhancements:
- This is a major release with loads of new features and bugfixes.
- The statistics module was improved with category, trend, and timespan analysis, complete with reach-through capabilities.
- The transaction backend was newly recoded.
- The CSV import module was rewritten with improved matching of imported transactions with planned transactions.
- Powerful filters were added for the transaction grid.
- Transferral transactions were implemented for transfers between different accounts.
- New possibilities were added when editing a chain of recurring transactions.
- A new theme was added.

Plan-B is a bootable Linux environment without the need for a hard drive, it runs entirely in ram or from the cd, based on a basic, stripped installation of Red Hat Linux and the fundamental workings of the SuperRescue CD. A list of tools and utilities are also included for projects such as:

* Forensics/Data Recovery
* System/Network Analysis and Security Scanning
* Temporary Network Device/Server
* IDS / NIDS System
* Network Status Report Creation

My reason for its creation came about due to finding other similar projects (SuperRescue CD, Biatchux (F.I.R.E.), Trinux, Knoppix) to be geared toward only a single area of the broad spectrum I was looking for. The first of which (by H. Peter Anvin, the author of Syslinux, Isolinux, and zisofs) was the only one close to the concept I had in mind which is why I chose it as the foundation for this cd. After not finding what I was really looking for, the "All-in-One", I decided the only way to get it was to build one myself.
